Now either you have a 4gas and crytpton machine or a good ear cos that
sounds just set up nice!

I haven't touched the carbs at all, just bolted them on to the car. I
bought them off a friend who had them on a standard 3.5 V8 and I knew they
run spot on, which is one of the reasons I got them. But it's MoT time in a
few weeks, so we'll see if they're set up well enough to get through that!!

Only thing- shame about the roasting hot air feed- thats gotta cost you
20hp or more on a slow moving run.

I'll be doing something about that once the MoT is sorted. I'm considering
using the old air filter elbows to mount the K&Ns over the 'V' rather than
over the exhausts, and/or possibly wrapping the manifolds. But for the time
being I don't intend on moving slowly
